Did you intend to reference both f39r and f39v here? I think that it would help to specify the text you are referring for a friendly "critical analysis". Thank you.

As usual, you think you've got it all figured out and something pops up to turn things upside down.
Folio 39r is a very strange page in the herbal section. Strange because rare glyph forms only occur occasionally, usually only one per page, and most skip a few pages. That's why they're rare. 39v has no less than 9 rare glyph forms, all established in earlier pages, so they're not unique. The gathering of so many on one page is rather unique however. And the script on this page mixes several glyph forms that usually group and cluster. This is a very odd page indeed.
